This European Standard deals with the requirements and the basic performance criteria and specifies minimum
values where appropriate for precast hollow core slabs made of prestressed or reinforced normal weight concrete
according to EN 1992-1-1:2004.
This European Standard covers terminology, performance criteria, tolerances, relevant physical properties, special
test methods, and special aspects of transport and erection.
Hollow core elements are used in floors, roofs, walls and similar applications. In this European Standard the
material properties and other requirements for floors and roofs are dealt with; for special use in walls and other
applications, see the relevant product standards for possible additional requirements.
The elements have lateral edges provided with a longitudinal profile in order to make a shear key for transfer of
vertical shear through joints between contiguous elements. For diaphragm action the joints have to function as
horizontal shear joints.
The elements are manufactured in factories by extrusion, slipforming or mouldcasting.
The application of the standard is limited for prestressed elements to a maximum depth of !500" mm and a
maximum width of 1 200 mm. For reinforced elements the maximum depth is limited to 300 mm and the maximum
width without transverse reinforcement to 1 200 mm and with transverse reinforcement to 2 400 mm.
The elements may be used in composite action with an in situ structural topping cast on site.
The applications considered are floors and roofs of buildings, including areas for vehicles in the category F and G
of EN 1991-2 which are not subjected to fatigue loading. For building in seismic zones additional provisions are
given in EN 1998-1.
This European Standard does not deal with complementary matters. E.g. the slabs should not be used in roofs
without additional protection against water penetration.
